A Woman's Guide to Cutting Hair at Home

6. Separate your hair

Separate your hair into sections by clipping two-thirds of your hair onto the top of your head and leaving the rest to hang loose. Create a parting in your hair by making a line starting behind one of your ears and drawing it across to the same position behind your other ear. Make two partings on either side of your head, dividing the top area into three sections. Comb the uppermost section of hair, twisting the hair into a knot and securing it with a butterfly clip. Now, do the same with the hair in the other two sections.
